Hangman Lyrics - Ghost Train - Marty Stuart

I killed another man today, it's hard to believe 

Well I lost count at thirty and I've grown to numb to grieve 

The bottle helps me cope, when I lay down at night 

And when the dope rolls through my veins, it all fades out of sight. 

Hangman, hangman, that's my stock and trade 

Hangman, hangman, sending bad men to their graves 

Well who killed who, I ask myself, time and time again 

God have mercy on the soul of this hangman 

There's a woman down the street, named Rosalie McFall 

She don't ask me any questions, when I come to call 

Her body keeps me warm, her words are soft and kind. 

She holds me in her arms till the bad dreams leave my mind 

Hangman, hangman, that's my stock and trade 

Hangman, hangman, sending bad men to their graves 

Well, who killed who, I ask myself, time and time again 

God have mercy on the soul of this hangman 

God have mercy on the soul of this hangman
